We eat lots of green things around here... asparagus, spinach, broccoli, green beans... you name em, we love um. One "green" recipe we enjoy on crackers is Broccomole, a yummy, creamy less-fat version of guacamole... (because there are no avocados).

Sounds like a high-fiber alternative! How did it taste?
ReplyDeletetasted pretty good -- better on crackers than on chips! I think it would go good on pitas too :)
